[Jara Hellhammer]

JARA HELLHAMMER OVERVIEW » NAME: Jara Hellhammer » ALIAS: Brother Jara Hellhammer » AGE: 285 » GENDER: Male » AFFILIATION: Imperium of Man » OCCUPATION: Deathwatch Terminator » FACE CLAIM: Captain Adrax Agatone, 3rd Company » PLAYED BY: Jironimoe!#4511 PROFILE THEIR ASPECT Jara Hellhammer stands at an imposing 7 feet tall. His body has been shaped into peak physical condition, even if he's technically more than human. Undergoing the process of becoming a Space Marine has caused his formerly black hair to shift into a ghostly white and his skin a very dark obsidian. His eyes also glow an almost radioactive looking red, allowing him a form of natural night-vision whilst also being an intimidating presence.  His body is marked with various scars, both that of battle and honour. His back in particular has a rather nasty looking scar left by the claws of the salamander he fought in his trials. On his forehead, resides a couple of metallic service studs which protrude through the forehead and had been given to him through his over 100 years of service. Although, he very rarely can be seen outside of his armour, he does sometimes wear practical, loose-fitting casual clothing. The helmet really comes off as he is aware that his appearance may unsettle some allies, but if he does take it off, then it is a symbol of great trust to him. Noteworthy Features » Glowing red eyes. » Unnaturally white hair. » Scarred body, mixture of battle scars and honour scars. » Unnaturally obsidian skin. » 7 feet tall. THEIR PERSONA Jara Hellhammer is a quiet member of the Deathwatch, known for being a man of few words. When he does speaks, he often commands attention. He is often well-liked due to his selflessness and uplifting nature. By being helpful and more co-operative, he is more approachable than many of his brothers. He believes that what he is doing is just as he has only ever had negative encounters with Xenos, having had to face them in battle. His faith is unwavering, his devotion unquestionable. When necessary, he can use his impressive physique and menacing presence to intimidate foes. Whenever possible he prefers to end conflicts peacefully, with the exception of unredeemable criminals and Xenos. There is a doubt plaguing the back of his mind however. He laments the fact that he had to essentially become something beyond human in order to face the threats in the galaxy. He questions whether he truly needed to undergo the changes and whether he'll ever life a normal life. » POSITIVE TRAITS ✔ Loyal ✔ Devout ✔ Compassionate ✔ Sincere » NEGATIVE TRAITS ✘ Stubborn ✘ Not the brightest ✘ Small self-doubt ✘ Quiet » LIKES ✔ Competence ✔ Loyalty ✔ Fearlessness ✔ Devotion » DISLIKES ✘ Ego ✘ Incompetence ✘ Cowardice ✘ Selfishness THEIR CONNECTIONS Allies » Deathwatch Watch Master Normik V'ar As a loyal member of the Deathwatch, Hellhammer greatly respects and is happy to follow the Watch Master into any battle. As a Blackshield, the Deathwatch Watch Master assumes a grave responsibility, the Emperor's mercy might escape him in this supposed suicidal role.  » Inquisitor Varomia Hellhammer somewhat holds the Inquisitor in reverence and hopes that he may one day hold such a rank. A pragmatic and somewhat charismatic individual, the inquisitor maintains an aura of respect and reverence from those beneath their station. » Brother Karak Oudious Having met Karak Oudious upon joining the Death Watch, Jara immediately took a liking to the lovable rogue. Karak is much more of a talker and that allows Hellhammer to blend into the background where he likes to be. Enemies » Hedbrekkah, Blood Axe Ork Hedbrekkah is a Blood Axe Ork that Jara has encountered numerous times and yet, the Ork has escaped his grasp so far. Hedbrekkah often attempts to use camouflage, even terribly and almost always takes an opportunity to run if he feels like a battle is going horribly for his side. He sports a long side-cut.  » Nugpuncha, Goff Ork Nugpuncha is a devious Ork, usually found with plenty of Stikkbombz and clad from head to toe in black, including a large horned helmet that covers his greasy mane.  » Lok Kilgane, Chaos Sorcerer Lok Kilgane is a heretic. Formerly a space marine that had served the Emperor, Kilgane was driven to madness during a mission gone wrong and now serves the forces of Chaos. Hellhammer had crossed paths with Kilgane when the latter killed a squad mate and Hellhammer has sworn revenge ever since. THEIR APTITUDES Having undergone the process of becoming a Space Marine, Hellhammer has naturally gained the aptitude for physical strength and durability. As a member of the Salamander Chapter, he has a knack for smithing and close quarters combat. He learnt the art of using the flamer to deadly effect, being rather adept at dealing with Ork infestations due to his previous experiences.  He is also rather adept at swinging a Thunder Hammer, getting into close range, a swing from his hammer can be quite devastating. So, he is something of a melee specialist with a proficiency in hammers. He is however less likely to engage in long range combat as he is rather ill-equipped for it and prefers to get in close. » STRENGTHS ✔ Enhanced physical strength ✔ Skilled Smith ✔ Flamer proficiency ✔ Close quarters combat proficiency » WEAKNESSES ✘ Naturally slower reflexes than other Space Marines ✘ Not as good at long range ✘ Doesn't plan far ahead ✘ Prone to being flanked Abnormal Traits » Glowing Eye Night vision Due to being a Salamander from Nocturne, Hellhammers eyes have a form of night vision. ACCOUTREMENTS THEIR WEAPONS » Vulkan Pattern Meltagun Short-ranged anti-armour gun that produces an intense beam of scorching heat. It's the ideal weapon for cutting through bulkheads or armour.  Melta Gun » Astartes Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield A massive power weapon in the form of a great hammer. Creates a shockwave upon impact that is as loud as thunder. If the strike of the hammer doesn't kill, then chances are the shockwave incapacitates the target.  Thunder Hammer The storm shield is a power shield wielded by Space Marines and sometimes Inquisitors. It is equipped with a gravity energy field generator which renders all but the most powerful of blows ineffective. When activated, the shield emits blue energy and when struck emits crackling lightning.  Storm Shield »Balefire Gun Flamer made with highly refined Promethium fuel mixed with various radioactive compounds used by members of the Deathwatch. Can cause environmental damage, but is good for dealing with Ork infestations.            Balefire Gun THEIR ARMOR Terminator Armour. Jara proudly wears the armour of the Death Watch. Its' blackness striking fear into the hearts of xenos everywhere. He bears the mark of the Salamanders on one shoulder and that of the Deathwatch on the other. He has customised the armour slightly by adding flame decals to further keep the Salamanders in his heart.  The armour is incredibly durable and is comprised of an outer-shell of heavy-gauge ceramite-plasteel composite plate, mounted on an adamantium exoskeleton.  Terminator Armour THEIR EQUIPMENT » Astartes War Gear Rucksack containing ammunition and supplies with a shovel on the back. Armour sealant for fixing up and patching holes in armour. » Smithing tools, Forge hammer. Every Salamander is a smith, never leave base without the tools. Forge hammers allow Salamanders to smith and repair equipment. BIOGRAPHY Born into a military family on Nocturne, Jara Hellhammer was well-equipped for the world. During his childhood, he had a reputation for being a kind, selfless soul that made sure that friends and family were ok and even stood up to adults, taking many brutal beatings in the process. He refused to give up despite being physical outmatched as a scrawny child and his tenacity and bravery earned him a visit from a Salamander Astartes at the tender age of 6 terran years. Spending years under the Astartes' tutelage, Hellhammer learnt the art of smithing before being deemed worthy of becoming a Space Marine by the Salamander Apothecaries and Chaplains. Despite having witnessed the deaths and failure of many of his fellow aspirants, Hellhammer persevered. His final trial was to follow in the footsteps of Vulkan himself, forging a weapon and slaying a Salamander, the ferocious creatures that the chapter was named after. His brutal trials ended with him being wounded and yet victorious with his Salamander foe slain before him. Upon the trials completion he let out a triumphant roar and smiled at accomplishing that which the Emperor and Vulkan had done before him. After reporting his triumph, he was taken to the Salamanders fortress-monastery on the moon of Prometheus, where he underwent the biological enhancement and was implanted with the chapters gene-seed. Upon leaving, he was noticeably taller, stronger and faster than ever before. He spent a few years on his home world, keeping the planet safe. During this time, he took part in various battles with xenos and shone by eliminating many threats to his people whilst always ensuring that they were never forgotten. In a particularly intense battle, he had managed to hold off encroaching Ork forces almost singlehandedly whilst retrieving a fallen comrade. Tales of his deeds spread to the Inquisitors and as such, he was recruited to the Death Watch. His natural inclination for teamwork as well as his good nature, allowed him to settle in well with him becoming a popular member of his squad. The squad would perform their duties admirably and were ordered to go around Corinthe.  One particular mission saw Hellhammer come face to face with Hedbrekkah, a particularly tough Ork from the Blood Axes. Although many of his team suffered grave wounds and various other less serious injuries, Jara managed to force the Ork to flee with a scar, a souvenir of their encounter. His swift response to his situation, specifically his great use of the flamer in driving the large enemy force back, and allowing his squad to rally earned him plaudits and led to him receiving the status of Terminator.
